The 27 Club contains some very revered and beloved musicians, including the likes of Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin and Brian Jones.<\/p>\n
AI has recreated the artists as they would be now, had they still been alive \u2013 most of whom would be in their 80s.<\/p>\n
The 27 Club \u2013 also known as Forever 27 \u2013 is an informal list of artists, actors, and icons who died at the age of 27.<\/p>\n
While there is no scientific reasoning behind this, the cultural phenomenon began when a number of famed musicians died at that age between 1969 and 1971.<\/p>\n
With Kurt Cobain\u2019s death at 27 in 1994, the club became part of the zeitgeist and something artists have written numerous songs about.<\/p>\n
Now AI has reimagined those famous faces who were gone too soon as legends in their 40s, 50s and even 80s. <\/p>\n

Amy Winehouse is known as the most recent addition to the 27 Club, following her death in 2011 from alcohol poisoning.<\/p>\n
Since her death there have been other additions, such as actor Anton Yelchin, but Winehouse stands out as the last great rocker inducted.<\/p>\n
The AI version images her still looking youthful at 40 with the signature beehive black hair piled on top of her head.<\/p>\n
Her familiar wide eyes are not given the iconic black winged eyeliner, instead presenting a softer, parred-down makeup that has become popular post-pandemic.<\/p>\n
The Tears Dry on Their Own singer still has her familiar pout, although AI has given her a sprinkling of age lines and wrinkles.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One of the greatest guitarists of all time, Jimi Hendrix appears still rocking bold prints and colours albeit in a calmer style.<\/p>\n
Hendrix, who would have been 80 today, was known for wearing clashing prints, chaotic jackets and still looking utterly cool.<\/p>\n
The Voodoo Child singer died on September 18, 1970 at London\u2019s St. Mary Abbots Hospital from a barbiturate overdose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This AI rendition bears a slight resemblance to Morgan Freeman so we\u2019re not as convinced on this one.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The only other woman on the 27 Club list, and one of the first to join, is Janis Joplin who died mere weeks after Hendrix.<\/p>\n
She died of a heroin overdose at the Landmark Motor Hotel on October 4, 1970, and would have been 80 now.<\/p>\n
The rock and blues icon is imagined with a face tattoo in one picture but keeps her long signature hair loose with stacked jewellery and her effortless hippie style.<\/p>\n
While the AI imagines her to have many more wrinkles and age lines, it also mimics her warm smile and pictures her still playing guitar.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rolling Stones legend Brian Jones is often regarded as the first member of this infamous club, having died on July 3, 1969.<\/p>\n
Jones tragically drowned in his swimming pool in Hartfield, East Sussex, and was discovered by his girlfriend.<\/p>\n
His death was ruled to be caused by \u2018misadventure\u2019 but fan theories of murder have swirled ever since.<\/p>\n
Hendrix actually dedicated a song to the late Stone while on live TV, a year before his own death.<\/p>\n
Jones\u2019 AI counterpart, now 81, has kept his blonde bowl cut although it\u2019s not imagined as thick as it was in his 20s.<\/p>\n
The rocker wears an old denim jacket and holds a guitar, fitting for the founder of the greatest rock band.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Doors\u2019 Jim Morrison joined the 27 Club following congestive heart failure, although the cause of death is disputed.<\/p>\n
His death came two years to the day that Jones died, a somewhat coincidental connection given Morrison\u2019s poem called \u2018Ode to L.A. While Thinking of Brian Jones Deceased\u2019.<\/p>\n
Morrison was found dead in the bathtub by companion and singer for The Doors Pamela Courson, who also died aged 27 just three years later.<\/p>\n
The AI version of the would-be 80-year-old, keeps the singer\u2019s curly hair although it is now a silver colour and much thinner.<\/p>\n
In another picture, Morrison is imagined to have a thick grey beard in-keeping with modern trends. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another rock legend, Ron McKernan, died during this brief period in the early 70s from a gastrointestinal haemorrhage.<\/p>\n
The Grateful Dead founder had dwindling health after alcohol abuse in his early years combined with an autoimmune condition.<\/p>\n
He temporarily stepped back from the band before coming back to tour with them and worsening his health.<\/p>\n
McKernan reportedly cut ties with his bandmates and told them: \u2018I don\u2019t want you around when I die.\u2019 <\/p>\n
AI imagines the late musician with long white hair and a long white beard \u2013 the 78-year-old wouldn\u2019t look out of place with ZZ Top.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nirvana legend and beloved singer, Kurt Cobain\u2019s death in 1994 pushed the 27 Club into the zeitgeist.<\/p>\n
The Smells Like Teen Spirit singer would have been 57 now but died by suicide in his home amid drug and mental health interventions.<\/p>\n
Drummer Dave Grohl, who went on to form the Foo Fighters, said the news was \u2018probably the worst thing\u2019 that had happened to him.<\/p>\n
He shared: \u2018I remember the day after that I woke up and I was heartbroken that he was gone. I just felt like, \u201cOkay, so I get to wake up today and have another day and he doesn\u2019t\u201d.\u2019<\/p>\n
AI Cobain has kept his grungy hair, looking grizzly with stubble almost like a blonde Norman Reedus combined with Sean Bean.<\/p>\n
